Deal: Revel Concerta2 F35 speakers $800 for the pair @ Crutchfield

These are an excellent floorstander 2 1/2 way with three 5 1/4" drivers. The sale ends today (7/7) and it is only for white. As usual with the great sales at Crutchfield, they are out of stock but you can order them (not charged until they ship) they are expected in 8/2. Retail is $880 each and they don't go on sale often and I have never seen them this low.



Crutchfield

Here is the review and data set from a Klippel Nearfield Scanner (including Spinorama) presented by Amir @ audiosciencereview. ASR If you are unaware of the Klippel NFS is gives anechoic data in a non-anechoic environment. If you are interested in a long discussion about the NFS and how it works: Erin's Audio Corner on YT Suffice it to say it is the dogs bollocks.

They are fairly tonally flat and take DSP reasonably well due to the relatively linear directivity index.


Crutchfield also has the larger F36 with 6 1/2" drivers on sale for $1200 for a set vs $1100 each normally. Also in white and also OOS currently.


Note Crutchfield has a 60 day return policy with a $75 charge for shipping. Honestly if you don't like them you could likely sell them locally for at least what you paid.

I will go out on a limb and say you can't find a better measuring tower speaker for this price anywhere. If you don't like a very tonally flat speaker (some people don't) and use DSP you can adjust the timbre fairly well except right around 800-1K where it has a little resonance. Note that is not something you will likely ever notice due to the low Q

I ordered a pair even though I don't have a particular place to put them but at the price I just couldn't not buy them, it is a helluva deal.



ETA one thing I should have noted is they are a nominal 6 Ohm load but drop to 3.6 ohms at about 200 hz. They are a true 90dB sensitivity so most amps even AVRs should handle them fine unless you are running them at ear bleeding levels (ignoring compression 10w will drive one to 100dB at 1M). I would not however try to drive them with one of the cheap Class D amps from China that have flooded the market and use amp chips like the Texas Instruments TPA3255.
